Nonlinear Model Predictive Control for Distillation

Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (MPC) is used to control a simulated distillation column with GEKKO Python. Linear MPC or advanced regulatory control is typically used in industry. Nonlinear MPC allows financial objectives, better rejects measured disturbances such as feed fluctuations, and allows fundamental relationships to be used in place of empirically derived models.

Interesting work

[@kalpeshpriti]

great presentation. Thanks. Can you share the gekko python code for the distillation column simulator?

[@apm]

That one isn't available because it relies on a Hysys proprietary model. There are other distillation column models here: apmonitor.com/wiki/index.php/Apps/DistillationColumn

Can you please share a link to your work? This seems pretty interesting and I would love to read
about it.
